insert, Go To, Read, and Layout. To access these menus, press "Space-M" or

"F2". Select a menu item using "Space-1" or "Space-4", and press "Enter". Or,

you can press "Space-M or "F2" followed by the shortcut for the corresponding

menus, settings or file lists. Use "Space-4-5" and "Space-1-2" or "F3" and

"Space-F3" to tab among controls in a dialog.

Press "Enter" to execute an item.
